Tech. Description

Long Cardigan with Folded Front Band

A women's long open-front cardigan coat with a folded band collar in a second fabric, cut-on front facings and dropped-shoulder sleeves pleated into contrast cuffs. Unlined, with no fastening.

When To Wear

As a light coat in spring and autumn, worn open.
As a warm open layer on cool days, in coating fabric with knit trim.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight and loose, with dropped shoulders.

Length: Mid-thigh to just above the knee.

Collar: A band cut on the fold, folded in half lengthwise and set into the neckline, running down the fronts to form a deep V; its lower end is wrapped by the facing.

Front: Edge-to-edge open front with interfaced cut-on facings.

Sleeves: Long, full sleeves on a dropped shoulder, with pleats at the wrist into a folded band cuff.

Back: One piece cut on the fold.

Finishing: Side and sleeve seams stitched in one pass; hem allowance of 3 cm turned up and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Few pieces and straight seams; the only fiddly point is wrapping the collar end with the cut-on facing.

Fabric Recommendations

Coating fabrics of natural or blended fibres. Knit fabric in two contrasting or related colours for the collar and cuffs.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (cut-on front facings)
